Security updates should leave to the OS maker not the OEMs. OEMs should not be messing with the OS too much.

AnonD-202928, 09 Aug 2015If LG can't roll out Android updates on a timely basis but ... moreUpgrades (updating the version of android) require applying their "skin" on all parts of the new O/S, possibly updating their own apps and testing the stability of the result. This costs time and money which lg may or may not deem worthy spending depending on the device.
Security updates however, require a patch on the current code so they take much less time to make and test before rolling them out.
It is definitely possible.

Wow look like LG is acting so free to care about their customers. In reality they dump alot of flagship phone users. Started from G, G2.... So low end LG phone users don't hope there will be security fix. You Are Infected With Virus Everyday
